Attach the camera slide plate (16) to the camera or camera mounting plate
approximately under the centre of the camera's weight.
If not already done, apply both pan brake (10) and tilt brake (12) by turning the levers in
a clockwise direction.
Lower the camera onto the camera mounting platform (Fig. 5) ensuring that the edge of
the camera slide plate (16) opposite the slide clamp (13) engages first, and then push
downward until the slide clamp ‘snaps’ into position.
Using the pan bar (5) to steady the camera, tighten the slide plate clamp (13) in a
clockwise direction to secure the camera in position.
Checking camera balance
A perfectly balanced head allows operators to control camera movement with the minimal
amount of effort. Once balanced, the head and its payload can be set to any tilt position and
remain at that position, allowing operators work hands-free.
Balance graphs (Fig. 8 to Fig. 11) illustrate the relationship between load and Centre of Gravity
(C of G) height for each Vision AS pan and tilt head. The balance graphs can be used to
ascertain the suitability of the head for any given combination of camera, lens and accessories.
The shaded area of graph corresponds to those load/C of G combinations that can be balanced
over the full tilt range. The areas to the right indicate the progressively reducing tilt range with
greater load and higher C of G. Where a load/C of G combination falls outside of the graph it will
be necessary to increase or decrease the weight or the C of G height to enable the head to
balance the load.
Before balancing the head, ensure that the camera and lens, pan bar(s) and all ancillary
equipment has been fitted. The head must be balanced whenever the camera and/or lens is
changed, or when ancillary equipment is added or removed.
CAUTION! DO NOT use force on the brake levers. Hand tighten only.
